His breath came in shallow bursts. He couldn't protect himself. He'd tried to protect Rose, but now Peridot was here, which meant... which meant...?
She was running. She was trying to get away from him, and looked weakened in a way he felt, and she was screaming. Shaking, Greg pushed himself onto his elbows, to really look at her. She was confused. Scared.
He'd died, and left her and Rose alone. She'd arrived here, with him. So then...
Greg stared at Peridot, both of them weakened, confused, disoriented. She'd put him here, and had ended up the same for it. What... was he supposed to feel, about that...? He had too many things to say, yet none of them were finished, none actually put together into coherency, none that she would be willing to listen to. Peridot liked to gather information. And all he could say for sure were the facts.
"People don't d... die here." His voice was raspy, quavering. "Ev... everyone just... comes back here."
